hey. i was driving my car and took off quick from the light, vtec kicked in and i shifted at the redline, went into second gear normally, and then so on. but when i stopped at the next light, the car barely stayed running and is now idling rough. Now when i start the car, it runs rough for 40 seconds, and then the engine light comes on, then it sounds like its running fine but really isnt. but before the engine light comes on, if i pull the first or second cillinder spark plug, the idle does not drop down. it seems like it's runing on 3 cillinders.

if someone would know what to do or have some tips for me it would be greatly appriciated.

is there any noise like metal grinding, or squeaking or sumthing?

What do the plugs look like? build up ? damage?

HAve a look in the rad pup the cap once cool ... all look normal not milky?

Do you have a spare plug wire ... try replacing the one you remove and nothing happens

Might be a place to start

Best to have to get that checked out. If your check engine light comes on on a regular basis it can be easily checked using a code reader. This will tell you if you are missfiring in some or if there are any other problems

Good Luck
